Coronavirus deaths in California have topped 80,000 and another 3,000 people are projected to die by month’s end even as infections, hospitalizations and intensive care cases are falling.
"This milestone is a grim reminder of the real human toll of this pandemic," said State Epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan, who urged Californians to get vaccinated and boosted.
There were fewer than 2,300 intensive care patients, down 300 cases from 10 days ago and less than half the January 2021 number. But the state’s case rate and positivity rates have fallen from their highs in early January, and models predict the number of infected people will continue to decrease in all geographic regions.
Once that threshold is met, Los Angeles County will end a mask requirement for large outdoor events such as concerts and sporting events and for outdoor spaces at schools and child-care facilities. California’s statewide mask mandate is set to expire Feb. 15, though local governments can still keep their own mandates in place.
